To help UK users of EEA trading venues plan, we are now publishing a list of the EEA market operators which have applied to us for ROIE or expressed a formal intention to do so and have consented to be included on this published list. If an EEA operator is not on this list, it does not necessarily mean that UK users will not be able to access trading venues operated by that operator. Overseas market operators which can use the overseas persons exclusion or which do not carry on regulated activities in the UK do not have to seek recognition as a ROIE. The relevant legislative reference is Article 72 Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities Order) 2001, and the relevant guidance can be found in PERG 2.9.15 ff.

Please also note that just because an operator is on this list, it should not be taken as evidence that its application is likely to succeed.

Any EEA market operator which has not yet applied but which believes it may require ROIE status should contact [email protected] immediately.
